SoxProspects Director of Scouting Ian Cundall posted his latest Scouting Scratch, taking an in-depth look at a couple PawSox players that could get a cup of coffee with the big league squad when rosters expand in September: pitcher Jalen Beeks and outfielder Bryce Brentz.

Staff Writer Nick Rabasco got a look at Trey Ball in Portland in what has been an up-and-down season for the former seventh-overall draft pick.

In a year in which Scott (pictured, above), a 2016 seventh-round draft pick, has struggled at the plate, this past week's power explosion was a welcome turn of events for the 24-year-old Arkansas native. He had been hitting just .133 since the start of July when his hot streak began. He homered in four straight games for Greenville, including the first two grand slams "in [his] life," according to an article on the Drive website.

Velazquez put together perhaps his most impressive outing of the season, hurling seven innings of one-hit ball. Velazquez, who has been the up-and-down swing man for Boston this season, has posted a 2.23 ERA in 101 IP for Pawtucket. The 28-year-old Mexico native is likely to get the call back up to Boston when rosters expand in September.
